Well........ I've only killed one deer with a cast boolit, a 245 gr from my .44 SBH. My youngest son took temporary possession of my 30/30 and killed many deer with loads that I had cast and we loaded together, an my friend who sadly passed away...

Try Rem Oil rather than WD-40. If left to sit for any length of time it will turn hard, orange and difficult.
For cleaning I'll use what I learned from the NMLRA magazines, very hot water and Ivory soap, and use gauze instead of t-shirt or...

I loaded up 10 rounds of 30/30 w/ 33 gr of H380, and 10 rounds w/ 30 gr IMR 4895 and the same RD boolits. I dunno how they will shoot, and it's probably a moot point as the rifle is reamed to 30/30 A.I.

I lube the inside of the case with set of Midway brushes and some RCBS lube. The outsides , depending on what I'm loading, will get rolled on the lube pad or some Imperial wax. I found out that too much lube on the shoulders WILL cause lube dents,...

I just stuffed a few wax wrappers into the lubrisizer, I supposed they would melt and blend with whatever was in there at the time... I did this off and on for a few years. Nothing scientific, nor was there a lot of wax at one time. The cheese was...
